SCHEDULE OF STREETS
Those Highways Which Will Be Improved
Next Year.
The Work Will Begin the First of
Next July-Some IEspecial
Improvements.
The schedule of the streets to be improved
next year was made out today by Captain
Beach, who now has charge of surfate im
provements, and submitted to the Commis
sioners for adoption.
The appropriation bill carries with it an
appropriation of $105,000 for this work.
That is, for the regular schedule according
to sections. There is what is termed a spe
dIal schedule, which.consists of streets spe
cially named in the appropriation bill for
improvement., and these, of course, will
take precedence. In other words, no matter
what exigencies arise, the special schedule
will be followed.
The following is a correct list of the
streets to be Improved during the fiscal year
of 1 7 and 141t. Work upon them will be
gin the 1st day of next July. In the list
"G. and M." means grade and macadamize.
"Sp. sch." means special schedule. "G. and
R." means grade and regulate."

Thanks for the Firemen.
Chief Parris of the fire department today
received a letter from Chairman Bell of
the inaugural committee, saying: "On be
half of the inaugural committee, I desire
to express our sincere and earnest thanks
for the very efficient work done by your
department at the pension offlce building
during the Inaugural Lall and suceeeding
eceerts. The firemen were called upon
rot only for protection against tire. but to
a large extent to do police work at
the building, and in every case they were
ecurtect-s. even under great provocation,
to the many thousands of visitors who at
tended."
DANCING STARS.
But They Were the Reflection of the
Moon on Electric Wires.
People living on 19th street between
Pennsylvania avenue and H street have
been much mystified of late by what
i-eemed to be a strange light in the. sky at
a point near the horizon east by northeast.
Standing anywhere on the street indicatad
the apparent phenomenon can be plainly
seen In the heavens. It has the appearance
of a series of bright lights of various hues
in a slightly curved vert~gal line. They
sparkle and gleam brighter than anx of the
regulation stars in the vaulted firmament,
and at times seem to be engaged in a wild.
hilarious dance. They would be accepted
as celestial lights but for the fact -that
they could be seen only at the point indi
cated and nowhere else, being perfectly in
visable on Pennsylvania avenue or H street.
tot over 140' feet away. The spectacle has
ptuzzled the neighbors for some time. and
group~s of them have spent several boors
every evening of late trying to discover
why It cotuld only be seen in the sky from
ce particular view point. Their efforts
were rewarded last night by the discovery
that the miniature illumination was merely
the retlecttion of the moonbeams on the
4 let.?ri-~ wir-. strung high in the sky on the
e-ast side~ of 1lsth street. and also that R was
only visible when the moon was at a par
ticular point in its nocturnal journey.
MON1I'METS REMIOVED.
The Warble Tablet and Urans Star in
thme Pennsylvanin Railway Station.
The raiarble tablet that rested in the r-outh
wall of the ladies' waiting room of the Bal
tinore and Potomac Railway Company's
depot and the brass star placed, in the tiled
floc ring of that apartment to mark for all
time the spot on which President Garfield
tell wheni assassinated have been removed,
A superstitious dtead on the part of the
traveling public of a constant retminder of'
an awful tragedy seems to have led to the
remcval of these monuments,
The immediate cause of the removal of
the tablet and star was the fire which oc
curred in the depot on the night of March
4. which damaged the tablet to such an ex
tent that the officials of the company de
claredi It was not in condition to be re
placed. A portion of the marble tiling also
had to be removed, and although the metal
star placed where the martyred President
fell rnight have been put back in its old
l~lace it was permanently removed, and
thne spot is now marked only by a piece of
red tiling, which would pass unnotleed ex
e'lpt to those familiar with the place and
the awful tragedy that was enacted there.
The box to re-ceive contributions for Gar
n'li Hi sp1ital has been ailowed to retain
its o.l lplace.
O ffilcials of the company stated to a Star
reporter today that there was no purpose
in remnoving~ the monuments except that
they had bee-n damaged by the fire. From
other sour,'es it was learned that there has
bceeni ruc'h c-omplaint on the part of the
travelmng public of having the norrors of
the assassination (constanltly recalled to
their reind when going through the depot
or waLitinlg for trains, To such an extent
has this feeling prevailed that the company
has long regarded the reminder of, the
tragedy as a disadvantage, and it is be
.ieed y many that the officials were only
too ghol to have an excuse to obliterate
the nmotnumenta.

Grand Opera House.-"The Span of Life,"
an English melodrama that has created
considerable commert wherever presented,
comes to the Grand Ooera House this week.
with usual matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday. The story of the play is laid in
England and Africa, but begins on the
coast of Devonshire, and, briefly, Is that
of the persecution of a young woman
and her lover' by her cousin, who aspires
to possess her fortune, and to obtain which
he stoops to all sorts of viliny. The ac
tion opens with unsuccessful attempts
to ruin the hero, Richard Blunt, followed
by an unsuccessful attempt upon his life.
From England the scene shifts to Africa,
where, after seven years. the hero and
heroine are found. Blunt having located a
diamond belt. Dunstan Leech, the villain,
appears as a slave trader at the head
of a band of Arabs, and he captures Blunt's
wife and child. They are released by the
hero, but are pursued by the Arabs. Find
ing that the bridge over a gorge had been
removed, with no other means of escape
open, they are preparing to kill them
selves, when their friends throw them
selves across the gorge and form a human
bridge. It is from this scene that the play
takes its name.
The Biograph.-It will be pleasing news
to the amusement-seekers of Washington
to know that the Biograph exhibitions
which have charmed so many persons In
the past will be continued at Willard Hall
for a few weeks longer. Mr. Jay Durham.
a well-known newspaper man, has assumed
the control of the machinc and the exhibi
tions will be conducted much on the same
lines as.they have been in the past. An
entire new list of pictures will be secured.
although a few of the old ones which have
been so successful will be retained and the
exhibitions will be enjoyable in the ex
treme.
Mr. Croffut's Lecture.-Mr. W. A. Croffut
delivered an interesting lecture on "The
Hermudas, Cuba and Yucatan," at Typo
graphical Temple last night. the proceeds
of the entertainment being for the benefit
of the Newshoys' Home. The lecture was
under the auspices of the Secular League.
and was well attended. The illustrations
used were well adapted for the purpose and
elicited applause, especially when the pic
tures of the leaders of the Cuban insur
gents were thrown upon the screen. Mr.
John Hutchinson. the only survivor of
the Hutchinson family of singers, and
who has not appeared in public for a long
period of years, gave a couple of selec
tions that were appreciated.
"Hen Hur."-Mr. John P. Clum of Cali
fornia n'ill deliver his celebrated lecture on
:"Ben Hur" at the Carroll Institute Hall
tonight for the benefit of the relief fund of
John A. Rawlins Post. No. 1. G. A. R.
The lecture will he profusely illustraterd
by o -er 2In1 handsome pictures, and will
he given by Mr. Clum for the first time in
this city.
Soldiers' Home.-An entertqinment will
be given at Marble Hall, Soldiers' Home.
tomorrow evening for the enelt of the
relief fund of the Legion of Loyal Woe-n.
There will be vocal ard orchestral music.
camp life, illustrated with musical effects:
fancy dancing and] recitatiors and a pa
triotic drill by sixteen young misses. Air.
Wm. H. Conly and other excellent talent
will participate in the program. Tne Home
is easily reiched by the Brightwood avenue
cars at Boundary and 7th street. which
transfer to the Soldiers' Home line. The
object is a worthy one, the entertainment
will be attractive and there should be a
large attendance.
Tne Vitascope.-The wonderful vitascope
is cozily established in Vitascope Hall. al1
joining Columbia Theater, and has proven
here, as it has elsewhere, a most delightful
and taking form of amusement. Every
evening last week the hall was packed to
tha doors, atAl standing room was at a
premium. Altihough the vitascope made its
firnt appearance at Koster & ials New
York theater, scarcely more than a year
ago. it has attained a world-wide reputa
tion and has a score of im;tators. under
various names. All of these infringing
"graphs' and 'scopes." it is said, will be
brought to grief by the owners of pending
vita iope patents. the issue of which is but
a matter of a short thne. The hall has
proven inadequate to accommodate the
evening crowds, notwithstanding the fact
that its s-ating capacity has been twice en
larged. No seats are reserved, and the
wise ones come early to secure seats. Every
one who has seen these exhibitions catches
the vitascope fever.
CHECKERS.
Local checker circles have been enliven
ed the past week by the presence of Mr. C.
C. Clark of Columbus. Ohio. and Mr. J. S.
Thompscn of Baltimore. In playing with
the District champirn, Mr. Mundelic, Alr.
Clark came out one game ahead. while Mr.
Thompson was thu-e games behind his
compe'itor. Mr. Clark is expected in the
city again next week, when Mr. Mun
delle will have another bout with him.
Messrs. Mundelle and Farquhar have not
yet arranged for their second match.
Baltimore's "big four" checker players
are coming to the city next month to ineet
four of the local cracks at the Washington
Club, 614 12th street.
Nationnl Geeographic Society.

ternoon course given by the National
Geographic Society in Columbia Theater
will take place today at 4 o'clock. ani will
take up the history of the development of
mankind in Syria. The lecturer will b Rev.
Dr. Thos. J. Sl'ahan of the Catholic Uni
versity of America. Dr. Shahan is well
known as a student, traveler, scholar and
speaker, and with the aid of carefully se
lected lantern-slide views, will doubtless
give a most ablie and interesting account of
the great scene of WVest Asiatic conquest
and -flefeat, the converging pomnt of far
easterna trade, and finally the inheritance
of Alexander and a part of the world em
pire of Rome.
CEontinentai Hall Fund.
Although the contribution from the
District Daughters to the Continental
Hall fund is already very large, the local
chapter is determined -that it shall not be
outdone hy any other part of the organi
zation. The opera "Priscilla" ttitted a con
siderable suim, and this will lbe augmniited
by the proceeds of a lecture, to lie deliv
ereal by C'ol. Ch. Chaille-Lung. aMreh 2t, a:

Sounant.
Engineers Protest.
The executive board of the Eccentric As
sociation of Engineers, No. 1, through Sam
tiel S. Teigue, the chairman ef the boartd,
has sent to the C'ommisriloners the follow
ing letter In regard to alleged violations of
the eight-hour law at the District building.
After referring to the law, the letter states
that there are employed at the District
offices in the engineer department men who
are "allowed" to work eleven and thirteen
hours per (lay. it also states that a man is
allowed to perform the duties of engineer

relative to such duties. The, letter con
tinues:

body will execute the special laws Impar
tially and give the men int the engineer de
partment the same rights enjoyed by the
other employes of the District govern
nen t."
Filed Suit.
As administratrix of the estate of the
late John F. Quigley, Mary E. Whiting to
day filed a -suit against the Metropolitan
Railroad Company, claiming $10,000 danm
ages. It is alleged that Quigley, In at
temptm.g -to board one of the company's
cars at 9th street and the avm5ue Septem
ber 19, 1896t, was injured so severely that he
died the following day. The accident, it is
olaimed, was the result of the suddeni and
negligent starting of the car. The plain
tiff is represented by Attorney Edward L.
Glies.

IIIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
Proposed Big Meeting to Be Held In
This City.
The Central High School will be repre

big relay meet at Philadelphia April 24.
The appeal made by the management to
the school for money to defray the ex
l-enses was generously responded to, and as
a result the school will be able to send a
team which should easily win the relay in
which it Is entered. The following com
parison of records will show that the Cen
tral boys will have an excellent opportu
nity to win: Central's spring relay team
of '96 ran, May 9, in 3.43: Central's fall
team covered the mile, November 7, in 3
rnin. 41 sec. Compare with this record the

The boys will be in better condition this
year than last, as they will have had the
advantages of a year's training and experi
(-lnce. Georgetown University has offered
the services of her track and trainer, Mr.
Foley. to whose efforts the success with
which Georgetown track athletes met last
year is largely due.
There are fourteen candidates for the four
paces. The old men are Ruff, Curtiss sand
Stuart and the new men are Farrow Juhlin.
Paschal. Arms. Young. Kent. Underwood,
Albert. Stephenson. Bishop and Mitchell.
Of the new men. great things are expect
ed of Arms. Stephenson. Underwood and
Kent. who have yet to display their abili
ties as quarter milers. Ruff and Stuart are
sure to make the team. Ruff is one of the
grittiest and fastest runners a high school
ever turned out and can always he reli'-d
upon tnder any circumstances. They are
both good men, and if two equals can be
developed from the dozen aspirants Cen
tral will have the fastest scholastic team in
the country.
Young and Cnrtiss will both make a
strong bid for the team. It is generally
conceded that Captain Farrow will make
the team. Farrow is built for a runner,
but his previous work has consisted in high
and broad jumping. in which h. has mate
excellent records. The team will mort like
ly consist of Ruff, Stuart, Farrow and
Curtiss.
The candidates for the :elay team enteut
active training last Thtrsday at George
town and as soon as the weather nermits
they will get out on the track for good.

A Ili Interneholastie Meet.
Washington nay be treaead to a big in
lertate scholastic athletic meet the latter
part of :.lay or the 1st of Jun, in which
the high schools and academies of Mary
land. Virginia. Pennsylvania and the Dis
trict of Columbia will be represented.
The Washington boys could get toge:hcr
an excellent field and track team from the
four high schools by taking the winners
of the events in the District High School
rreet to make up the All-Washington team.
It was at first proposed to have an anntual
meet betwe-n the high schools of Hialtirtore
and Washington, but it wa-; thought that
it would prove more stce.-sful to invlte ali
the high schools and academies of tih? fur
rounding states to meet annually it, Wash
irgton to contest for the i:t--rs.te cham
plonship.
The attendance of teAms from Bal1imore
City College. the Episcopal High Sehool cf
Alexandria and the Central High School of
Philadelphia can he secured. :tad if the
Wasnington boys will push the mater and
form delinite plans the out of town schools
will undoubtedly enter into thie lrojee with
vim. The students )f the BIaltimor.- City
College have enzered intco the unertaking
with enthusiasm.
High School Nines.
As each of the high schools will be repre
sentcd by a first-class team, it is likely that
a series of high school champ:cnship games,
similar to those between the foot ball
teams, %-ill be arranged this yehr. Mr.
Buck is in charge of the western ball los
sers; Mr. Al Tisdell is captain of the Cen
